"A cheap filter, and one easily con
structed, may be made by walling OF
third of the cistern with a wall th,
thickness of one brick. The bricl
should be soft and porous, so that fh
water will soak through into the large
space from which the water will b
drawn for use. Room enough shoul'
be left at the top for a person to ge
. into the filter to clean it out occasion
ally. Rain water as it falls from tn
clouds contains the least foreign mat
ter OF all others, except distilled water
and it ranks first in wholesome quail
ties along with spring water and wa
ter from deep wells. Very shallo'
wells, especially if near any thing liza
bic to contaminate them by drainage
are dangerous, though the water
quite often palatable. -BOst0n Globe.
